Critic Reviews for Men Don't Leave

Performances to die for
Watching the suffering, growth, and personal renewal of these likeable characters we gain a fresh perspective on our primal feelings about the family circle.
Unexpectedly vivid; great work by Lange and Cusack.
O'Donnell impresses but, surprisingly enough, Lange drags things down to a place where only a formula finish can end things without the audience throwing fruit.
One of the most unjustly underappreciated films of the 1990s; wonderfully acted
A minor note classic
